Looks like it's strapped to a trailer. And it looks like the straps have been wrapped around the axles at the joint. I thought that was a no no?
That is one of the least informative photo arrays ever.
Note that the 2054 engine was built by Bernie Bergman's outfit. Not exactly confidence inspiring.
Maybe a good buy, but tough to tell with no pictures of the actual car, just bits and pieces.
That's a CMC I think. Gauges.
Also curious to find where that top will be coming from. CMC is defunct for a while.
And the big question: Flared or slab side? How the hell can you tell with no pictures?
Agree CMC with optional roll up windows. Even the Steering wheel is CMC with their Classic Speedster crest on it. The picture of the EMPI $30 oil breather really add value! Hemmings should be ashamed of such an ad.

Absolutely a BIG no-no. And with a CHAIN no less. And that's not just an IRS Speedster thing, that's for any car running CV axle sets.
If they really cranked those straps and chains down to hold it on the trailer (and most people over-tighten when they're not sure of what they're doing), then the joints might be stressed at the races and/or the axle itself might be slightly bent and will shudder underway.
On these cars, wheel straps or wheel baskets are the way to go unless you know where to strap 'em - like around the front beam and around the frame horns at the back.
Maybe GK put this one on the trailer? Oh, Wait..... It's up in Washington.
A 30 second web-search for the seller revealed everything you'd want to know. I can't seem to make the link work but cut and paste this:

It's got what appears to be new paint, EMPI 8 spoke, 4 lug wheels. We can see it's got IRS. He claims it's a 2L motor, but who knows. All-in-all, Dr. Clock could make this a winner. Everybody else... perhaps not so much.
